Google has stepped into the arena with SecondLife with it's newest product known as "Lively" which essentially allows you to create an avatar and interact and chat in a virtual world.


There is already a lot of talk as to how badly this new Google product will effect SecondLife and so far it's not looking good.

Why would anyone want to pay for special features in SecondLife when they can use a alternative like Lively through Google which is more than likely to remain free since Google is notorious for offering everything for free.

I spent a half hour on Lively this afternoon and it is remarkable and honestly when I tried out SecondLife last month I honestly could not say the same about SecondLife.
